Para tanto, estudamos algumas ações de D. Antônio Ferreira Viçoso (1787-1875) durante seu bispado na Diocese de Mariana, Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 1844 e 1875. As medidas adotadas por ele tais como a reestruturação do seminário, as missões perpétuas e as visitas pastorais, somadas às ações dos padres e freiras, foram fundamentais para o entendimento do ultramontanismo como cultura religiosa. Diante de um clero que, apesar das tentativas de controle, continuava a viver da maneira que lhe convinha, a Igreja foi obrigada a alterar algumas de suas normas e se flexibilizar. Assim, a relação entre normas impostas e ações criadoras favoreceu uma reforma eclesiástica menos rigorosa. O movimento ultramontano, iniciado por D. Viçoso, em Minas Gerais, através de ações reformadoras, teve que enfrentar a grande dimensão da diocese, juntamente com a insuficiência numérica dos padres. O resultado foi uma reforma religiosa que tolerou um preparo mais rápido dos clérigos e a continuação no sacerdócio daqueles que possuíam histórico de escândalos / Abstract: The objective of this dissertation is to analyze ultramontanism from religious practices from the referred bishop, understanding ecclesiastic reform as the creator of a specific routine and not only as a movement transplanted from Europe to Brazil. Thus, we studied some actions by D. Antônio Ferreira Viçoso (1787-1875) during his bishopric in dioceses in Mariana, Minas Gerais, from 1844 to 1875. The measures adopted by him as restructuration of the seminar, perpetual missions and pastorals visits, added to actions by priests and nuns, and were very important for the understanding of ultramontanism as religious culture. Opposite to the clergy, who despite controlling attempts, continued to live as they wished, Church had to change some of its rules and to make itself more flexible. Therefore, the relationship among imposed rules and creative actions favored a less strict ecclesiastic reform. The ultramontane movement, started by D. Viçoso, in Minas Gerais, through reformatory actions, had to face the great dimension of the dioceses, together with a numerical insufficiency of priests. The result was a religious reform that tolerated a faster education of the clergy and the continuation in priesthood of those with a record of scandals / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

Cette thèse interroge les origines, les interférences et la production de la littérature comorienne d’expression française. Au confluent entre critique littéraire, historiographie anthropologique des sources et analyse des thématiques dans la création, elle questionne aussi la notion de réception dans un contexte éditorial minimaliste et où langue d’écriture et langue vernaculaire s’interfèrent. En près de 30 ans, les quelques 160 ouvrages publiés de 1985 à nos jours, laissent percer des débuts lents et difficiles. Une réalité qui sera contredite à la fin des années 90 où des maisons d’éditions, même éphémères, naissent avec pour mot d’ordre, promouvoir la littérature comorienne. Va alors s’amorcer une dynamique nouvelle inscrite par le nombre et la variété des genres édités, la multiplicité des thématiques abordées et par l’orientation des revendications littéraires d’ordre esthétique en écho à des revendications identitaires. Parallèlement, transparaît une forme de tâtonnement textuel qui laisse apparaître une dualité narrative sous-tendue dans l’organisation fictionnelle et narratologique des œuvres et mettant en place un type de personnage-pensée à l’origine d’une hybridité textuelle. Par conséquent, cette thèse procède à une forme de bilan de ces trente années d’écriture suivant deux axes d’analyse. Un axe chronologique qui fait coïncider des éléments liés à l’histoire du peuplement avec l’établissement d’une écriture pour les îles afin d’appréhender le contexte originel de production ; un axe analytique et herméneutique recoupant faits historiques et sociaux en rapport avec les objets ou motifs de production et révélant la source des interrogations des écrivains comoriens francophones. / This thesis questions the origins, interferences and the production of French-speaking Comorian literature. At the junction of literary criticism, anthropologic historiography of the source documents and thematic analysis within the creation, it also investigates the notion of reception in a minimalist editorial context where the written and the vernacular languages interfere with each other. For the past 30 years, the 160 publications that have been published, since 1985 to date, have shown slow and difficult beginnings. A trend that would be reversed from the late 1990s, where many publishing houses have emerged, even if it was quite briefly for some of them, with a shared goal: to promote Comorian literature. A new trend will then begin as proven by the number and variety of genres being published, the diversity of the themes discussed, and the direction of the literary assertions of an aesthetic angle in response to identity assertions. At the same time, a form of textual hesitation transpired, shedding a light on a narrative duality, from a narratologic and fictional organisation of the publications, highlighting a type of character-thought creating a form of literal hybridity. Therefore, As a consequence, this thesis proceeds a kind of statement from thirty years of writing according to two axis of analysis. A chronological axis matches elements which are linked to the peopling History with the establishment of a writing for the islands in order to grasp the original context of production; an analytic and hermeneutic axis matching historical and social facts related to subjects or sources of production and revealing the sources of French-speaking Comorian writers’ questionings

My thesis addresses how Christianity can constitute itself as a creative force and a form of governance across different scales. I carried out 12 months of fieldwork between 2013 and 2015 in Papua New Guinea's National Parliament (Port Moresby). My interlocutors were bureaucrats, liberal professionals and pastors who formed a group known as the Unity Team. The Unity Team, spearheaded by the Speaker of the 9th Parliament, Hon. Theodor Zurenuoc, were responsible for controversial initiatives, such as the destruction and dismantling of traditional carvings from Parliament in 2013, which they considered ungodly and evil, and the placement of a donated KJV Bible in the chamber of Parliament in 2015. My interlocutors regard Christianity as central to eliciting modern subjects and institutions. They consider Christianity to be a universal form of discernment, contrasted to particularistic forms of knowing and relating which are thought to create corruption and low institutional performance. I show how the Unity Team regarded Christianity as more than a way of doing away with satanic forces and building a Christian self. They expected Christianity to be a frame of reference informing work ethics, infusing citizenship and, finally, productive of a public and national realm. By exploring Christianity ethnographically, I offer a contribution to Anthropological discussions concerning politics, bureaucracy, citizenship, and nation-making.

Coetzee's own experience of living in apartheid South Africa provides the backdrop for novels infused with sardonic irony and rich metaphoric systems. In modes of metafiction that emphasize the destructive and violent nature of language, he optimizes his unique oeuvre to interrogate global, national and domestic power relations. This dissertation relies on psychoanalytical theories that examine microstructures of power within the individual, and in his domestic domain. Each of Coetzee's chief protagonists carries a secret related to a dysfunctional mother/son relationship. This hampers their psychosocial dynamics, their masculinity and sexuality. As they respectively strive toward an elusive new life they confront patriarchal power structures that speak on behalf of individuals, '[whose] descent into powerlessness [is] voluntary' (Coetzee 2007: 4-5). Coetzee's constructed white males perform their several identity roles in milieux that span divergent phases of colonial history. His critique points to white patriarchal hegemonic ideological discourses that bespeak the self/other dichotomy in a postcolonial world where the language of dominance supports an oppressive status quo. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

This thesis aims to map non-Semitic influences in the religion and culture of the Late Bronze Age Syria. During the Late Bronze Age, Syria was divided into many local kingdoms which were most of the time subdued to the great empires of the ancient Near East (Mitanni and Ḫatti) and Egypt. Influences from these cultural areas are the most noticeable. Trade across the Mediterranean brought many cultural influences, too. These are mostly observable in art. The thesis is centred around case studies from Ugarit, Amurru, Byblos, Karkemiš, Alalaḫ, Ḫalāb, Emar, Tunip and Qaṭna. Each case study shows peculiarities of individual sites and different modes of cultural transfer. The data are set into a broader anthropological perspective and some general conclusions are made about the process of culture transfer and about conceptions of foreignnessin theculturesof theancientNearEastand Egypt.Abroadertheoryof cultureasa system of concepts is outlined and the material is interpreted in its light.

In this work I have used Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus as a springboard to examine the Pauline tradition in the light of Zimbabwe-African, cultural, legal and social attitudes to women. I have highlighted the conflict between the practices defined by Zimbabwean Constitutional law regarding the status of women and what is the actual situation on the ground, also considering the role of the church in confronting or conforming to the cultural norms. I have likewise highlighted the conflict in the Pauline tradition where one hand women are given more active roles in the church than could be expected according to the customs of the time, but on the other hand are still bound by an oppressive tradition. I have concluded by suggesting how the church can act in order to break free of this oppressive tradition and bring about change in the habitus of the society. / New Testament / M. Th.
